During the dialectological research carried out in recent years in some Istrian-Venetian localities (towns), we have learned from conversations with dialect speakers that the Istrian-Venetian dialect ...is most probably the language of communication of most members of the Italian national community in the coastal part of Slovene Istria. In order to get a more accurate and detailed insight into the use of the Istrian-Venetian dialect spoken by Italians in formal and informal speech situations, we conducted a quantitative survey with 232 randomly selected respondents and a qualitative survey with 50 interviews. The respondents answered various multiple-choice questions about the languages they use in their daily lives. Research has shown that the Istrian-Venetian dialect is the predominant idiom among members of the Italian national community in Slovene Istria, except when communicating with non-Italian interlocutors and in official institutions where, despite the right to use their language, i.e., Italian, the predominant language is Slovene.
The paper presents the results of the Janes project, which aimed to develop language resources and tools for Slovene user generated content. The paper first describes the 200 million word Janes ...corpus, containing tweets, forum posts, news comments, user and talk pages from Wikipedia, and blogs and blog comments, where each text is accompanied by rich metadata. The developed processing tools for Slovene user generated content are presented next, which include a tokeniser, word-normaliser, part-of-speech tagger and lemmatiser, and a named entity recogniser. A set of manually annotated datasets was also produced, both for tool training as well as for linguistic research. The developed resources and tools are made publicly available under Creative Commons licences in the repository of the CLARIN.SI research infrastructure and on GitHub, while the corpora are also available through the CLARIN.SI concordancers.
V razpravi obravnavava učno gradivo pri predmetu slovenščina v osnovni šoli z vidika kritične analize diskurza in vizualne slovnice (Kress in van Leeuwen 2020), pri tem pa se osredotočava predvsem na ...rabo spolsko občutljivega jezika. Kljub temu da je pri slovenščini poudarek na besednem, je učno gradivo sestavljeno kot interakcija besednega in slikovnega koda. Znaki obeh semiotskih kodov se med seboj povezujejo in bralec ali bralka učnega gradiva zlahka razbere smisel in sporočilo. V ospredju analize je pojmovanje spolov in razmerje med njima.
The article explores Slovene language learning among the members of the Slovene community in Croatia over the past thirty years and their efforts to preserve and revitalise the Slovene language in ...Croatia. Slovenes have held the status of a national minority in Croatia since 1990. Before that, they had been one of the constituent nations of the common state, i.e., the former Yugoslavia. At that time, there had been a decrease in the use of Slovene among the members of the Slovene community in Croatia who, apart from their relatives, could speak Slovene only in the two Slovene societies then operating in Croatia. Therefore, there had been no intergenerational transmission of Slovene. After 1991, the interest in learning the Slovene language grew. Various forms of learning Slovene are available and the number of learners is increasing. Slovene is no longer only the mother tongue of members of the Slovene community in Croatia, but is also gaining economic importance.
Vpríspevkuprek analize Strategije trajnostne rasti slovenskega turizma 2017-2021 in turističnooglaševalskih besedil v navezavi na posvet Slovenščina v javnosti iz leta 1979 ugotavljamo, kakšen je ...današnji odnos do turizma in turističnega komuniciranja v Sloveniji. Zanimali so nas štirje vidiki: strateška usmerjenost slovenske države na področju turizma, jezik kot del znamčenja, avtentičnost in prepričljivost turističnooglaševalskega diskurza ter jezik kot turistična ponudba. Ugotovitve kažejo, da turizem, ki se skladno z globalnimi turističnimi smernicami razvija v smeri trajnostnega turizma, na eni strani dojemamo kot gonilo celotnega družbenega razvoja, na drugi pa še vedno kot zgolj prostočasno in gospodarsko dejavnost. Obstajajo tudi primeri dobrih praks, kjer ponudniki v komuniciranju izpostavljajo avtentičnost in prepričljivost sporočanja, ki ju dosegajo z ozaveščeno rabo jezika in posameznih jezikovnih sredstev.
